We didn't start the fire

well, we really didn't. the Celaya did. Yes, there was literally a fire. Now, to fill you in, on tues. (12th) I was at work and it was abt 6 pm when I noticed there was smoke outside, and then I heard several sirens, and Dana rushes out to go get her kid which is in the bookstore next to the celaya on fire and where the bookstore is covered in smoke. Soon, there are police telling us we have to close the store, however, when it comes to smoke, over 1/2 of the animals will die if they inhale too much. (Any animal really) So, from the time of abt 6:20 - 7:10 we evacuated ALL animals out of the store. The dogs, cats, birds, ferrets, rabbits, chinchilla, miscellaneous small animals, and EVERYTHING but the fish (which we covered with towels). I end up w/Mercy, Giselle, 2 rabbits, and a kitty. Chelsea takes the small animals in her truck along with some cats, her boyfriend takes the birds in his dad's suburban, Dana takes Buddy and Daisy and some birds, etc, etc. Crazy. Then, as soon as all the animals were out, the store really started smelling like smoke (b/c of the common air system) and we lock the door (several times after getting food) and head out. By about 8 the fire itself was out, but the smoke was still circulating. Early morning Chelsea gets to the store and starts airing it out, doing the vinegar trick and all that. Dana drops off some animals, and I get there at seven, all of us cleaning the store from top to bottom since we never get the opportunity. And we did, indeed. So, long day.
